The highlight comes when you kiss me...

And I swear we're in the movies
The highlight comes when you kiss me
And the stereo sings our song
And we don't hesitate to sing along

- Anberlin, Autobahn

i've just come back from the anberlin/copeland secret show; my face is all XD!!!!!!!!!

it was fantastic. the crowd was great, singing along to every single song in the acoustic set of anberlin's, causing stephen's face to crease from smiling everytime we sang the right bit at the right time etc. he was really pleased, man!

and then there were the highlights, such as them playing 'adelaide' acoustically for the first time, and them covering 'creep' by radiohead (hahaha all the younger crowd don't know this classic so they couldn't sing along).

well, then of course, there's a reason why my title is so. while stephen and the two guitarists, Joseph and Christian (i think) were tuning their guitars, there was a short break were the host wanted 2 fans to get on stage and say why they loved anberlin. the first was a girl, so for the 2nd, he wanted a guy.

at once, alvin boomed, 'ME! ME! ME! ME!!' while i shouted (and pointed while jumping up and down), 'HIM! HIM! HIM! HIM!!!'

and he was chosen to get on stage, obviously, otherwise no story already. i grabbed his cam as he went up and shot a few lousy pictures then started filming it down when i suddenly heard something like, '... oh, anberlin brought me my girlfriend...'

O_O

of course, i got dragged on stage. i passed the cam to a pair of girls we got friendly with, and they continued filming. once i got on, the crowd started chanting, 'kiss kiss kiss kiss!'. eh hello, miss loon is game ok!

alvin was looking sheepish when i grabbed his neck...

and whispered, 'FABIO.' (no la, no kissies yet!)

so we did our thing, fabio-style. if you've seen romance novel covers before, er... it's quite close to what we were trying to do. WITH CLOTHES. WE WERE FULLY-CLOTHED.

anyways, we were like the old fogies in the crowd (again). it's like, almost half the crowd needed under-18 tags so that they won't be able to drink. but it was still damn fun la, and i was reminded of it when we were taking pictures with stephen and he was like, 'oh hey! great kiss!!' hahaha.

anberlin's got a good bunch, all nice, all very patient for photos. *lub*

oh, oh!! another highlight was when they sang inevitable, which was one of my favorites. there was this bit when the last chorus is altered from the rest, where it was 'is it over now?' but it becomes 'it's not over now'. i love that line, because the addition of it changes the entire mood of the song. so when they were singing that part, i raised my hand and shook my finger and head while mouthing, 'it's not over now...'

and stephen turned towards me (coz i was the only one who reacted to the change), pointed to me while singing the same part as i was, and grinned.

*sigh* i was so happy!!! it's nuts!!!

yar man, anberlin needs to know there are people in sg who love their music to bits.

at the end of it all (photo-taking, chatting etc), i really didn't want to leave... and neither did alvin. we both had things to say to them, like 'u need to play cadence!' or 'come back for a full blown concert with copeland again!' etc.

but we had to go...

oh, copeland was goooood. i love the lead's voice, very mesmerizing and very solid.

ah ok, it's time to stop raving like a 16 year old and go to sleep. my knees are hurting me.

but, i need to let off some steam.

ANBERLINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!! *screams*
